THE MANCHIN SAGA & THE BEAT GOES ON

“Sen. Joe Manchin on Wednesday night expressed concerns about the climate action proposed in the Democratic Party’s $3.5 trillion reconciliation package.  What the conservative Democrat didn’t mention is that he profits—to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars annually—from selling coal to power plants in his home state of West Virginia.”

“His family company, Enersystems, is a contractor of American Bituminous Power Partners, a coal power plant located near Grant Town, W.V. that provides energy to Monongahela Power Company, according to documents from the West Virginia Public Services Commission.”
